About our grease filter exchange in Lissenden Gardens
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you are dealing with staff short of time to wash filters and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can put it right, from baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
Kitchens in Lissenden Gardens, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

FAQs for Lissenden Gardens
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lissenden Gardens?
Fire safety enforcement in Lissenden Gardens is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Lissenden Gardens out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 69 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lissenden Gardens. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
An exchange does not take long, and can be booked outside service times. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We’ll send you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. A booked night’s work in Lissenden Gardens costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.

What else we do in Lissenden Gardens
Do you need grease filter exchange in Lissenden Gardens?
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A canopy running with filters missing
Commuter trade near Gospel Oak station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What affects the quote in Lissenden Gardens
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Part by part
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Lissenden Gardens
There are about 684 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 324 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Lissenden Gardens, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Kitchens in Lissenden Gardens get their food hygiene inspections from Camden council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Highgate Road Chapel, or anywhere in Lissenden Gardens, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lissenden Gardens is Royal Northern Hospital, about 1.2 miles east.
